A Smuggler's Song Comments

What a beautiful poem! A worthy selection as the 'Poem of the Day'! Loved the refrain: And watch the wall, my darling, while the Gentlemen go by!

Trusty's here, and Pincher's here, and see how dumb they lie - They don't fret to follow when the Gentlemen go by! //// excellent poem penned

Watch the wall, my darling, while the Gentlemen go by....Nicely thought.

Amazing poet Rudyard Kipling who is ranked #21 on top 500 poets on date 20, October 2020 is a brilliant poet. His poem, " A Smuggler's Song is perfectly penned. A man should be gentleman as per his expression. Wonderful poem of the day is chosen.

Probably a favourite poem of Al Capone!

" Laces for a lady" ! ! ! ! ! 'Letters for a spy" ! Beautiful! ! ! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

A poem I've known since childhood, (a long time ago) still holds hard in my memory.

Laces for a lady, letters for a spy. Wonderful conceptualization. Thanks for sharing.

First heard this poem from my sister, reciting it to me when I was 9/10yrs old, during a stormy night, (thunder and lighting) loved the visions it gave me as I drifted off to sleep listening to my sister's voice.

I must have been about 10 when I discovered this poem, and I read it so many times I ended up being able to recite it. I just love the way Rudyard Kipling's words flow with such unstoppable rhythm - he is my favourite poet and this is my favourite poem.
